It is satellite GLONASS-M n°42.http://www.iss-reshetnev.ru/?cid=news&nid=1332
Is this still Blok-45S?
Is this still schedule for the 25th?
Will it be broadcast live on any website if the launch does happen? Thanks

The launch is postponed till the first decade of September.

does anybody know why?? technical info?I'm asking because we are launching a 2.1b from CSG soon and i'm trying to keep taps on this....2.1b doesn't use a rd0110 so that should be ok, unless something is going on...

In this case, there is a risk for every launcher, whatever the version...
Does that mean that this year's launch-window for Phobos-Grunt may come and go without a launch taking place?
The launch is postponed due to high winds at height of 9 km.

According to NK forum (Anik) we have lift-off.RIA Novosti press release.
they would have had better PR to show a live launch from Plesik than have some fool pic of a Proton launch (or are my eyes going)
